Cosmetic Dentistry

Does your smile ever make you self-conscious? Do you find yourself trying to hide your teeth when you smile or interact with others? Do you ever wish that your teeth were whiter or straighter? A healthy smile is one of the first things that people notice. Let our team at Pacific Plains Dental help you achieve that healthy, confident smile!
We have many options to whiten, straighten, and improve the overall appearance of your teeth. Many options are faster and more affordable than you might think.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Everyone loves a bright white smile. Unfortunately, everyday food products and habits such as coffee, tea, wine, and smoking can cause your teeth to dull and become yellow. A stained smile can make you appear older than you really are and can make your smile look drab.
Professional whitening is an effective way to quickly brighten your teeth. We will make custom trays for you that will closely adapt to your teeth. Then, we will send you home with professional strength whitening gel to place in the trays. Our gel is more effective than products you can buy over the counter.
Before you leave, we will make sure to measure the shade of your teeth so that you will be able to see the change after you whiten! Monitoring your before-and-after shade will allow you to see just how much brighter your smile looks.
Professional teeth whitening is safe for most healthy patients and has very few side effects. Sometimes, patients report sensitivity to whitening gel. If you experience sensitivity, call us and we will offer you advice and solutions so you can still have a beautiful white smile.
If you are interested in brighter, whiter teeth, speak to Dr. Duede about the best way to achieve that smile!
Porcelain or Composite Veneers
Dental veneers can solve a variety of cosmetic problems. They can straighten, whiten, and improve the shape of your teeth. Veneers can also lengthen your teeth and provide guidance for your bite. We often use them to close spaces and cover stubborn stains that whitening alone cannot address completely.
Veneers are thin covers that fit right over your natural teeth. Because we need to prep your teeth and get them ready for veneers, it is important to note that veneers are a life-long commitment. However, they last for many years when cared for properly. Composite or porcelain veneers can create the smile of your dreams!
Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern system of straightening your teeth without wearing conventional braces. A series of custom-made, clear trays will gradually and gently shift your teeth into perfect alignment. You will wear a new aligner fabricated from Invisalign’s innovative computer program every two weeks until your treatment is complete.
